Composer Use Github Before Packagist

Question

I have made a fork of FOSRestBundle here RLovelett/FOSRestBundle it has a branch dev-411. I want to use my fork and branch of FOSRestBundle in a Symfony2 project.

To attempt this I patched my symfony2 project composer.json like so (full composer.json):

diff --git a/composer.json b/composer.json

+            "url": "https://github.com/RLovelett/FOSRestBundle"
+        }
+    ]
 }

When I run composer update I get the following error message:

Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- The requested package friendsofsymfony/rest-bundle dev-411 could not be found.

Potential causes:
- A typo in the package name
- The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.

Read <http://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

What is wrong with my configuration?

Composer prefixes dev- to branch names to identify them clearly, so if the branch is dev-411, the composer version for it would be dev-dev-411.

Try this : "friendsofsymfony/rest-bundle": "0.11.dev-feature/411"

Tried yours (`0.11.dev-feature/411`) and then after reading the issues I tried a couple more (`dev-feature/411`). I even created a branch of that name. No dice. Same error. – Ryan Mar 27 '13 at 16:22
